This week one we may of found the answer to the great collecting chase of where is the best Super Audio cd of the one work you'd of thought there would of been.
Let's face it, Hifi types love to show off just how low their systems low notes go, the almost bat ear high notes matched by ink blank silent backgrounds all brought by the latest recording and reproduction technology.
From those early days in the 50's with the new fangled lps that spawned the hobby with a high quality playback source rather than 78's and AM radio people had then, the explosion that followed stereophonic sound on being on record, radio and tape to the cd and the you are in the room feel multichannel sound can offer one work has always figured in demonstrations.
This just might be the Batastic super audio cd that matches the finest performances from the days of analogue tape with superb multichannel super high quality sound.
This does offer playing to equal my much loved imported Shm regular stereo cd of the 1971 Boston Symphony recording by William Steinberg which was originally engineered for Quadraphonic multichannel sound just beating the previous sacd go to, the Andrew Davis recording which is part of his four sacd series of Holst's other sadly neglected works.
The Elgar is an enjoyable piece you do benefit from having a 'spare' version of too even if as a coupling another piece by Holst would of been ideal.
